Dealing with sudden, inflamed spots can be frustrating, especially in a humid climate where pores can feel easily overwhelmed. The Pyunkang Yul Acne Spot Cream is a targeted treatment designed to offer rapid relief. Developed by the renowned Pyunkang Oriental Medicine Clinic, this cream focuses on calming inflammation and protecting blemishes without harshness, making it a gentle yet effective ally for acne-prone skin in Mauritius.

If you're looking for a gentle, targeted solution to calm individual pimples and reduce redness without drying out your skin, this spot cream is for you.

• Texture: A lightweight, soft white cream.
• Finish: Absorbs quickly with a natural, non-greasy finish.
• Scent: Fragrance-Free.
• Best For: Oily, Combination, and Sensitive skin types prone to inflammatory acne (red, sore pimples).
• Key Benefits: Rapidly soothes inflammation, reduces the size and redness of active spots, and creates a protective barrier to aid healing.

1. Cleanser: Start with a clean base by washing your face with a gentle cleanser.
2. THIS PRODUCT: Squeeze a tiny dot of the cream directly onto the blemish. Pat gently until absorbed.
3. Sunscreen (AM) / Moisturiser (PM): Follow with your usual moisturiser and, in the morning, a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect the healing spot from darkening.

Note: Already have a spot treatment you're using? It's better to finish that one first to prevent waste and see if it works for you. Substitute, don't stack.

Minimalist Routine (4 Steps):

1. Cleanser: Wash your face with a gentle, low-pH cleanser.
2. Hydrating Toner/Essence (Optional): Apply a light layer to prep the skin.
3. Moisturiser: Apply a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturiser.
4. THIS PRODUCT & Sunscreen: Apply a dot of the Acne Spot Cream to any blemishes. Wait 1-2 minutes, then apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+) as your final step.

Minimalist Routine (3-4 Steps):

1. Cleanser: Double-cleanse if you wore makeup or water-resistant sunscreen (Oil Cleanser → Water-Based Cleanser).
2. Toner/Serum: Apply any hydrating or treatment serums you use.
3. Moisturiser: Apply your nighttime moisturiser to your full face.
4. THIS PRODUCT: As the very last step, apply a small amount of the Acne Spot Cream directly onto active pimples.

Daily Use — As Needed:

• Amount: A small dot, just enough to cover the surface of the pimple.
• Apply to: Directly onto the blemish. Avoid spreading it over large areas of clear skin.
• Method: After your moisturiser has absorbed, gently pat the cream onto the spot until it forms a thin layer.
• Frequency: Apply 1-2 times daily on active spots. Can be used more frequently if needed, as it is very gentle.

If-This / Then-That:

• If you have a large, inflamed pimple: Apply a slightly thicker layer at night to work as a targeted soothing mask.
• If you have sensitive skin: This product is formulated for you, but always patch-test any new product on your jawline first.
• If you wear makeup: Apply a very thin layer and allow it to dry completely before applying concealer to avoid pilling.

Safety: For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Discontinue use if a rash or irritation occurs. Do not apply to broken or wounded skin. Keep out of reach of children.

• Daily Use: This is a spot treatment, not an all-over active. Use it on any day, AM or PM, whenever an active blemish appears.
• Compatibility: It is gentle enough to be used alongside your regular routine, including days you use exfoliants (like AHA/BHA) or retinoids. Simply apply it as the final step on the specific spot that needs calming.

Mauritius Note: Its lightweight texture absorbs well and won't feel heavy or greasy, even on hot and humid days.

• Immediate (First 1-3 uses): You may notice a reduction in redness and soreness around the blemish. The cream provides an immediate soothing sensation. (Ingredient Rationale)
• 24-72 Hours: Many users report that the spot cream helps bring inflammation down, making pimples appear smaller and less angry. It can help speed up the healing process of a blemish that has already surfaced. (Brand Claim)
• 1-2 Weeks: With consistent application on a stubborn spot, you should see it heal more quickly and with less post-inflammatory redness compared to leaving it alone. (Ingredient Rationale)

Important: This product treats existing pimples; it does not prevent new ones from forming. Consistent use of a broader acne-prevention routine (e.g., with salicylic acid) is needed for prevention.

Why use this, not pop your pimples?

Popping pimples can force bacteria deeper into the skin, leading to more inflammation, potential infection, and a higher risk of permanent scarring or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)—those stubborn dark marks that last for months. This spot cream offers a safer alternative by calming the inflammation from the outside, helping the blemish heal cleanly without the trauma that causes scarring.

• Works Well With: This spot cream is designed to be gentle and can be incorporated into almost any skincare routine. It works well alongside hydrating ingredients (Hyaluronic Acid, Panthenol), barrier-supporting ingredients (Ceramides), and even other acne treatments (like Salicylic Acid or Benzoyl Peroxide, as long as they are applied to different areas or at different times to avoid over-drying).
• Use Carefully With: If using strong prescription retinoids (like Tretinoin), your skin may be more sensitive. Apply this cream only after your moisturiser to provide a gentle buffer.
• Avoid On: Do not apply to broken skin, open wounds, or weeping spots.

• Excellent For: Acne-Prone, Oily, Combination, and Sensitive skin types looking for a targeted solution to calm red, inflammatory pimples.
• Good For: Normal skin types that experience occasional hormonal or stress-related breakouts.
• Use with Caution: While gentle, those with extreme sensitivities to botanical extracts should always patch-test first. This product is not designed for dry, non-acneic skin and should only be used on blemishes.

Who should use this?

This cream is designed for individuals with acne-prone skin of all types, including sensitive skin, who need a targeted treatment to calm down individual pimples.

Patch Test Protocol:

For first-time use, especially if you have sensitive skin, we recommend a patch test. Apply a pea-sized amount of the cream to a small, discreet area, such as behind your ear or on your jawline. Wait 24-48 hours. If you experience any signs of irritation, such as a burning rash, redness, or itching, do not use the product on your face. If irritation persists, consult a healthcare professional.

For Teens: This product is gentle and can be used by teenagers experiencing breakouts as part of a simple routine: Cleanser – Moisturiser – Spot Cream – Sunscreen.

• Texture: A smooth, lightweight white cream that is not heavy or greasy.
• Finish: It absorbs into the skin well, leaving a soft, natural finish without shine or stickiness.
• Scent: None.
• pH: Not publicly disclosed by the brand, but the Acne Line is generally formulated to be mildly acidic and skin-friendly.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: This product contains Glyceryl Stearate, Polyisobutene, and Polysorbate 20, which can potentially be triggers for fungal acne in some individuals. If you are highly prone to Malassezia folliculitis, a patch test is strongly advised. Individual responses may vary.

• "My pimple isn't disappearing overnight." Spot treatments work to calm inflammation and speed up healing, but they are not magic erasers. It's normal for a blemish to take several days to heal. Consistent application (1-2 times a day) will help reduce its lifespan and minimise scarring.
• "The area around my spot is getting a little dry." You may be applying too much product. Use only a tiny dot, just enough to cover the blemish itself. Ensure you are applying a good moisturiser to the rest of your face to keep the surrounding skin hydrated.
• "I'm still getting new breakouts." This product is for treating existing spots, not preventing new ones. To prevent acne, you need a consistent routine with ingredients like Salicylic Acid (BHA) or a gentle retinoid, combined with proper cleansing and hydration.

The Pyunkang Yul Acne Spot Cream is an excellent choice for the hot and humid climate of Mauritius.

• Humid Summers: Its lightweight, non-greasy formula absorbs quickly and will not feel heavy or sticky on the skin, even on the most humid days. It effectively calms heat-induced inflammation in breakouts.
• Drier Winters/AC Environments: The cream is non-drying, so it won't exacerbate any tightness or flakiness caused by indoor air-conditioning or the slightly drier winter air. It helps spots heal without creating dry patches.

At Adilsons, we guarantee 100% authenticity. All our Pyunkang Yul products are sourced directly from the brand or their authorised distributors in South Korea.

The claims for this product are primarily based on the well-documented properties of its active ingredients.

• Ingredient Rationale: The formula includes Niacinamide, Centella Asiatica derivatives, and Willow Bark Extract. Scientific literature supports the anti-inflammatory, soothing, and wound-healing properties of these ingredients, which are beneficial for managing inflammatory acne lesions.
• Brand Claim: Pyunkang Yul claims the product provides rapid soothing effects, helping to calm acne within 12 hours. This is based on their internal formulation research, but no public dataset is available for independent verification.

A little goes a very long way with this spot cream. The 15ml tube contains hundreds of applications.

• Size: 15ml
• Dose per use: A tiny dot (approx. 0.05ml) per spot.
• Estimated Uses per Tube: ~300 spots.

For someone who gets a few pimples a month, a single tube can easily last for a year or more, making it an excellent value. Reorder when you are running low, but it is not a product you will need to repurchase frequently.

No in-catalog pairings available today—this product still works well solo with your current cleanser and daily sunscreen.

This spot cream is an excellent choice if your primary concerns are calming individual red, swollen pimples with a gentle formula.

• If you need to prevent breakouts: Consider a leave-on treatment with Salicylic Acid (BHA) to keep pores clear.
• If you have tiny, non-inflamed bumps (closed comedones): An exfoliating toner with AHA or a gentle retinoid may be more effective at smoothing texture.
• If your concern is mainly post-acne dark marks (PIH): A brightening serum with Niacinamide, Vitamin C, or Tranexamic Acid will be more targeted for fading pigmentation.

Mindful Consumption: If you already have a spot treatment at home that you are happy with, there is no need to add another. Finish what you have first to avoid waste and give your current product a fair chance to deliver results.

• Packaging: A small, 15ml plastic squeeze tube with a narrow, hygienic nozzle that allows for precise, controlled dispensing directly onto the blemish.
• Sustainability: The outer box is made of recyclable paper. The plastic tube (HDPE/LDPE) may be recyclable depending on local facilities in Mauritius; please check with your local recycling provider.
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the stability of the active ingredients. A bathroom cabinet or drawer is ideal.
• Travel: The small, secure tube is perfect for travel.

Note: These are aggregated sentiments from online communities and individual results may vary.

• Praise for Gentleness: "I got this for my sister who has sensitive acne prone skin saw improvements on her acne," notes a reviewer on Reddit, highlighting its suitability for reactive skin. (Reddit, r/AsianBeauty, 2018)

• Effective on Inflammation: Another user found it highly effective for specific types of acne, stating it "works best of all the topical treatments i have tried. Speedy in bringing cystic acne to a head, and also bringing down the inflammation for smaller red spots." (Reddit, r/AsianBeauty, 2022)

• Fair Caveat: Results can be subtle or user-dependent. One user on Pupsik Singapore commented, "It seems to reduce the redness marginally but I did not feel it hasten the recovery." (Pupsik Singapore review, 2024). This shows that while it's great for calming, it may not dramatically speed up the healing time for everyone.

1. Can I use this cream all over my face?
No, this is a targeted spot treatment. It should only be applied directly to active blemishes. It is not intended for use as an all-over facial moisturiser.

2. How is this different from a pimple patch?
A pimple patch (hydrocolloid) works by absorbing fluid from a pimple that has come to a head. This spot cream works by delivering anti-inflammatory ingredients to calm a red, swollen pimple, often before it comes to a head. You can use this cream on a forming spot, and a patch once it has surfaced.

3. Will it bleach my pillows or clothes?
No. Unlike treatments containing Benzoyl Peroxide, the ingredients in this cream will not bleach fabrics.

4. Is it suitable for cystic acne?
It can help to reduce the inflammation and soreness of deeper cystic spots. However, for persistent cystic acne, it is best to consult a dermatologist for a comprehensive treatment plan.

• Best For: Individuals of all skin types who experience occasional or frequent red, inflamed pimples and need a gentle, targeted treatment.
• Key Benefits: Effectively reduces redness and inflammation of active spots; gentle and non-drying formula; hygienic and precise applicator.
• Keep in Mind: It is a treatment for existing blemishes, not a preventative product for acne. Its effectiveness can be subtle and may not "erase" a pimple overnight. It contains some ingredients that may not be suitable for those with fungal acne.
